Knife was a gift for a good friend who is a Marine Huey Pilot, both he and the knife made is back from the sandbox unscathed. The handle is spalted birch with marble inlays (borrowed from Saddam’s palace by another vet) I made everything but the blade, it is from Linder in Germany. The sheath is dymond wood and water buffalo horn accents. The box is just Red oak, stained with a couple coats of poly. Most of the supplies came from North Coast Knives if anybody wants to give it a try.
